I want to clean my 5D11 sensor. I'd buy Eclipse fluid ..from WEX..£12.99 but do I really have to pay £49.99 for just 12 sensor-cleaning pads ? Pec Pads are OK for the lens but not the sensor. I read a couple of articles that have given them a big 'No'. Seems nothing else will do though.
I have a blower and I have the 18mm sensor plastic swipe tool. However, I can get it done professionally in Bristol..a 40 minute straightforward drive via M5 and an A road for £30 plus VAT...so £36. I'm thinking that this is probably the best option .I only use the 5D11 for holidays and skies (here)so not that often. The shop at Bristol is called 'Black on White' a long-established, highly regarded one-man business and he's excellent. I've been a few times over the years. It's a two hour wait f(booked time) for a sensor clean. https://www.bonwcameras.co.uk/services.html
